A revolution is interesting insofar as it avoids like the plague the
plague it promised to heal.

Because we want the peace with half a heart and half a life and will,
the war, of course, continues, because the waging of war, by its nature,
is total- but the waging of peace, by our own cowardice, is partial.

Faith is where your ass is at!

I don't have to prove my life. I just have to live.

I don't know what more to say. I mean, we're all going to die in a world

If you are going to follow Jesus, you better look good on wood.

It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent
revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of
violence to change anything for the better.

No principle is worth the sacrifice of a single human being.

The arms race is worse than it ever was, the dumping of creation down a
military rat hole is worse than it ever was, the wars across the earth
are worse than they ever were.

The gift we can offer others is so simple a thing as hope.

There is no peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as
the making of war- at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least
as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.
